Chapter 207 Depicting Dragons and Phoenixes

"Auntie, why are you back?"

"I heard you're doing very well abroad."

Ye Feng said with a smile, jokingly.

I remember that I had a good relationship with Ye Ling Shuang. When we were little, she often teased me, making me laugh while crying and sniffling.

"I've been away for too long, so I came back to visit."

Ye Ling Shuang offered a casual explanation, then extended an invitation, "Are you free now? Your aunt hasn't seen you in ages. Come visit me sometime, want to grab a couple of drinks?"

"Of course I'm free."

Thinking that it had been a long time since they last met, Ye Feng agreed without any hesitation.

He arrived at the agreed-upon bar and spotted a conspicuous figure in the distance.

The woman was tall and slender, wearing jeans and an off-the-shoulder top, exuding youthful energy. She looked up and greeted him with a smile, "Over here!"

Ye Feng sat down next to Ye Ling Shuang, looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, and was filled with emotion.

"Not bad, young man."

"When I left back then, you were only as tall as my waist, and now you're taller than me in the blink of an eye."

Ye Ling Shuang laughed heartily.

Time flies.

"Auntie, you're getting more and more beautiful too." Ye Feng said with a sincere smile.

He had developed feelings for the woman in front of him. Although they shared the same surname, Ye, they didn't actually have much connection with the main Ye family clan; they were more like distant relatives.

So after Ye Ling Shuang went abroad, contact decreased, to the point that Ye Feng almost forgot that such a person even existed.

Compared to the naive aunt in her memory, Ye Ling Shuang is much more mature now.

"You little rascal! Now you've learned to be so glib!"

Ye Ling Shuang leaned closer and hugged Ye Feng's neck, a mischievous grin on her face as she probed, "So, all these years, how many young girls have you seduced?"

"Oh no, I'm a good person, why would I do such a thing?"

Ye Feng chuckled, and their relationship immediately warmed up.

Ye Ling Shuang ordered all the signature drinks at the bar before the two sat down at a booth. She immediately asked curiously, "I heard you're engaged to that girl from the Shen family?"

"How is it? Is it alright?"

Ye Feng was taken aback, then couldn't help rolling his eyes. "You know I'm engaged, and you still want to ask me if I've been flirting with other girls?"

"Isn't this to see if you're being honest?"

Ye Ling Shuang waved her hand dismissively and said repeatedly, "So, how have you been?"

"It's alright."

After experiencing so much, Ye Feng didn't really feel much about the Shen family.

If there's anything I'm attached to, it's probably Qin Yao. For whatever reason, Qin Yao took care of me a lot.

"Sigh, you've suffered all these years too."

"Now that the Ye family is in this state, there's nothing we can do to help you. You'll have to rely on yourself for everything."

Ye Ling Shuang looked distressed.

She knew, of course, what this young man was carrying on his shoulders.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming somewhat heavy, Ye Feng changed the subject and asked curiously, "Auntie, why do I feel like your return this time isn't just because you miss home?"

"Uh...you figured it out, kid."

Ye Ling Shuang downed a glass of wine, then revealed a hint of regret. "Actually, I haven't had a good time abroad these past two years, so I thought I'd come back to see if there's any opportunity."

"The more unwilling a person is to accept things, the less likely they are to grasp what they want."

She poured out her grievances, recounting almost everything that had happened over the years, including hardships, bitterness, and triumphs—truly experiencing the full spectrum of life's joys and sorrows.

As the last few drinks were consumed, in a hazy, drunken state, tears welled up in his eyes.

Ye Feng took a sip of his drink, deeply moved by the experience.

If Ye Feng hadn't met his master in prison, he would be in the same situation now, slowly wasting his life and suffering endless humiliation in the Shen family.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Ling Shuang gently and said, "Aunt, if there's anything I can help with, please don't hesitate to ask."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling Shuang looked at Ye Feng with a drunken haze, feeling somewhat dazed.

"Haha, Xiao Ye, you've grown up. You know how to care for your aunt now."

"However, the problem your aunt is facing is not something you can solve. I appreciate your kind intentions."

Ye Ling Shuang smiled. Ye Feng wanted to say something more, but she stopped him, saying, "Don't say anything today, just drink with your aunt."

Seeing this, Ye Feng didn't say much, but simply nodded, "Okay!"

After a few drinks, Ye Feng thought it was about time and decided to take Ye Ling Shuang home. Just then, two thugs with dragon and phoenix tattoos on their clothes strode over.

They stood directly in front of the booth, looked at Ye Ling Shuang, and said, "Beautiful lady, would you do us the honor of having a drink with our boss?"

As they spoke, their eyes kept sizing up Ye Ling Shuang with a highly aggressive gaze.

Looking in the direction they indicated, there was indeed a middle-aged man sitting there, who also turned his gaze over and raised his glass to greet them.

After pouring out her grievances, Ye Ling Shuang was naturally in a bad mood and refused without thinking, "No need, I'm not interested."

This sentence directly ignited the explosives.

One of them frowned and immediately shouted in an annoyed tone, "Hey beautiful, don't push your luck. Do you know who our boss is? He rarely treats people to drinks. You'd better not be rude."

"If I upset my older brother later, the consequences..."

Boom boom boom!

Before the man could finish speaking, Ye Feng tapped the table, the dull sound interrupting him.

"I'm still here. It's not appropriate to treat me like I'm invisible right from the start, is it?"

Ye Feng looked at the two of them, wondering if they were nearsighted.

He was still sitting to the side, and he just brazenly invited Ye Ling Shuang. Did he not take him seriously at all?

"What's it to you!"

"You little brat, we weren't talking to you, so just stay put. If you interrupt again, we'll take care of you too!"

The other party's cold and fierce gaze looked at him as if he were a ferocious demon.

Anyone else would have been terrified and silenced, but Ye Feng remained unmoved. Instead, he asked, "So impressive, who gave you the courage?"

"snort!"

A smug look appeared on the thug's face, as if he were showing off. "Since you're so sure you want to die, then I'll tell you, this whole area is under the control of our boss, 'Fiery Bro,' and behind him is the Dongxing Gang!"

"You know the Dongxing Gang, right? It's the biggest gang in Zhonghai right now!"

After the last incident, most of the members of the Wo Shing Gang were dealt with, and the Tung Hsing Gang experienced an unprecedented strengthening, quickly becoming the largest gang.

Upon hearing the name of the Dongxing Gang, even the drunkenness in Ye Ling Shuang's eyes dissipated somewhat.

"The Dongxing Gang, are they that powerful?"
